My technician, I believe his name was Miguel was very knowledgeable in explaining what went wrong with my unit and he fixed it very quickly in a clean and professional manner. He even went above and beyond in repairing a small window unit I attempted to put into a window for a temporary fix, but dropped and broke the power cord. Their prices were very reasonable and he knew what he was doing. I would recommend them in the future for more repairs and possibly an install of a badly needed new unit I will be putting in soon if the price is right. ;-). Thanks guys

This was such a wonderful experience. He thoroughly checked the system, and not only resolved the small electrical issue, but he also discovered I was low on Freon. It was getting dark, but they came back the next night, and worked in the dark until the Freon was completely full. Then he made sure I was comfortable with the airflow, and also noticed I had to change my filter. You must hire Yonier if you want an honest, and exceptionally skilled technician.

After searching all afternoon for a A.C. repair company we found All Year Cooling and they were able to come the same evening. The technicians arrived at the time stated. Immediately took a look at our unit and advised of the issue. Our AC had some corrosion and other issues. The techs fixed the issues swiftly. I would definitely recommend All Year Cooling.

Excellent, and I mean outstanding...
Have been in my home for over 20 years. In those years, have had a number of a/c companies service my a/c unit. I've had good people but, frankly, Cooling Nation is the BEST of the BEST - professional, great technicians, friendly, accommodating, and their prices are just perfect. Highly recommend !!!!!!

Moments after I put in the request RA Appliance contacted me and scheduled an appointment the next day. He contacted my tenants, setup a time, diagnosed and fixed the problem immediately. Moving forward I will use RA Appliance for any HVAC needs in the Miami area.

My A/C was down and wasn't blowing cold air so I called Quality Air of America and they sent a technician over the same day. They had me up and running in no time. Excellent service will recommend anyone that needs an a/c repair.

I spoke to 9 different technicians/companies before I found Leo with EconoAir. Leo was honest from the beginning and was truly interested in helping me fix the problem with my AC & Duct system. All other companies were more interested in selling me everything new. As a Realtor I have Leo from Econoair in speed dial for all my clients. I am glad I found Leo!

Q & A

The letters in HVAC stand for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. An HVAC system enables you to regulate your home or building’s internal temperature (thermal control) for comfortable living and working. You can bring heat levels down in the summer and up in the winter, keeping your home or office livable year-round. HVAC systems can also help with humidity levels and regulate indoor air quality in a home or office. There are many types of HVAC systems and technologies available.

Many homes have a forced-air HVAC system. Both the heating and the central air conditioning units share a ductwork system where they either push in or pull out warm or cooled air. There are also heating and cooling systems that don’t require ductwork — such as ductless mini-splits — but work on the same principles of heat exchange. The national average to hire an HVAC specialist is $2,920-$3,670, with costs varying depending on the work you need done and the equipment you are installing.

Air duct cleaning is done by heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) professionals. The pros use industrial-strength, truck-mounted vacuums and powerful brushes and hoses to clean inside the metal ducts that make up your forced air heating and cooling system. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends duct cleaning if there is “substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface ducts, ducts that are infested with vermin such as rodents or insects, or ducts that are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home from your supply registers.”

You should also have air ducts cleaned after recent water contamination or water damage to prevent mold; after renovations or remodeling to ensure debris and dust didn’t settle in the vents and ducts; if you are having problems with allergies or asthma; or when you are moving into a newly purchased home, especially if the previous owners smoked or had pets. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends getting your air ducts cleaned every three to five years, or every two to three years in regions where homeowners use their air conditioning and heater for many months of the year, while the EPA suggests homeowners have duct cleaning done as needed.

How often you should clean your air ducts depends on your situation. If you or someone in the home has asthma or is acutely allergic to certain airborne materials or pollen, regular duct cleaning may be helpful. The Environmental Protection Agency doesn’t have an official position on the necessity of air duct cleaning unless the ducts have been contaminated by rodents, insects or mold, or you are aware of particles blowing out through the vents. The EPA recommends you have your air ducts cleaned on an as-needed basis. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) suggests having air ducts cleaned every three to five years.

Be cautious with companies that offer “whole house air duct cleaning,” urges the NADCA. The company may be using unscrupulous tactics to upsell you once they get started. Before any work begins, always clarify in writing what the job entails and what the cost will be. To protect yourself against fraud, read customer reviews and verify that your HVAC cleaning service has applicable licenses and certifications.

If your furnace needs to be repaired, you’ll want to find a qualified heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) repair technician. Each state has its own licensing requirements; some require all HVAC technicians to have an HVAC license, while others only require someone operating an HVAC service and installation company with employees to hold a contractor’s license. For example, in Alabama, the Alabama Board of Heating Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Contractors regulates licensing, while in Kansas there is no state regulatory body and HVAC licensing can vary by region. For simple furnace repairs like changing out a filter, a trusted handyman can probably handle the job, but a trained professional should be hired for tasks like replacing a gas valve, installing a new inducer fan motor or other critical furnace repair jobs that involve dealing with gas leaks or other dangerous conditions.

Prices for central-air HVAC systems will vary. The national average to hire an HVAC specialist is $2,920-$3,670 but can run as high as $5,000 or even $12,000 depending on the capacity you need and other factors. Installing central air conditioning requires an entire system that works together to draw hot air out of your home. The system includes an outdoor unit, which houses the condenser and compressor, and the evaporator coils. If you don’t have an existing duct system, ductwork will need to be installed, which will affect labor and material costs. Leaking or damaged ducts will also need to be replaced.
